Container for sterile liquids

Abstract

A blow-molded thermoplastic container for storing and dispensing sterile liquids that is designed to be filled with a sterile liquid during the blow-molding having a first penetrably sealed threaded neck, a second penetrably sealed neck in an aperture near the base of the container and a plug designed to fit into the second neck after it has been penetrated. The plug is contained in a sealed depression in the wall of the container when not in use. The container also has an indented waist portion positioned in the approximate center thereof.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A blow-molded thermoplastic container for storing and dispensing liquids designed to be filled with said liquid during blow-molding comprising in combination a container having a body-portion, said body portion having a base portion, said body portion having a top portion, said top portion terminating in an elongated extending first neck, said neck terminating in a penetrable seal, said seal being contiguous with said neck and being formed during said blow-molding, a second relatively short neck extending outwardly from said body near substantially the base portion, said neck terminating in a penetrable seal, said seal being contiguous with said second neck and being formed during said blow-molding, a plug, said plug adapted and constructed to fit into a substantial portion of said second neck to thereby close any opening resulting when said seal of said second neck has been penetrated, a sealed depression in the body of said container adapted and constructed to frictionally retain said plug when said plug is not in use. 
     
     
       2. The container of claim 1 wherein the second neck extends outwardly from a depression in said body and said second neck terminates substantially flush with said body. 
     
     
       3. The container of claim 2 wherein the container contains a liquid. 
     
     
       4. The container of claim 1 wherein said container has a square configuration. 
     
     
       5. The container of claim 1 wherein said container has a round configuration. 
     
     
       6. The container of claim 1 wherein said thermoplastic is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene and mixtures thereof.
